Safety, trust & environment

✩copied from cat care experience section✩ My approach to cat care is totally individualized, meaning I pay close attention to how your cat most prefers to interact with an emphasis on providing quality stimulation (play, brushing, etc.) and company. 💗 I find so much joy in learning the preferences and quirks of every cat, whether they are shy or outgoing, and will do whatever I can to form a meaningful bond with your kitty while you are away. No minute is wasted during my visits! I’m a lifelong cat owner (I currently have two) and lover, and I’ve cat-sat for friends since college. I’ll make sure your litter boxes are clean, food and water bowls are full, and messes are cleaned up while you’re away.

Information Lauren R. would like to know about your pet

I can accommodate special needs cats as needed and have experience administering oral and topical medications. Please let me know how I can take extra special care of your fur baby!

A typical day

I love to get to know kitties through play! We will play with an assortment of provided toys with extra time devoted to your cat(s)' favorites.
